Chapter 7: Testing (I)
Jingle bells!
A bell came, the bell was crisp and pleasant, but in Shaoyang's heart, it was like a heavy hammer.
He chuckled in his heart and muttered "It's over."
This bell is nothing else, it is a sign that the time of year has arrived. Before cultivating, the brass means that the bell is used as the signal for the period of the year. Those who hear the bell must immediately end their cultivation and come out to be tested. When he spoke, he emphasized it in a heavy tone.
Shaoyang's brain roared, and he sat still, he didn't expect a year to pass so quickly, it was like it was still yesterday. At this point, he had long forgotten that he was going to go out for the test, and all he thought about was repeating "It's over...... It's over."
I don't know how long later, suddenly, a shocking thunder sounded in his head. The sound was so loud that it shook his blood and almost couldn't suppress it.
"Cai Shaoyang, get out of here!"
Shaoyang clutched his chest, and it took a long time to relieve. He staggered to the door, took a deep breath, and slowly pushed the door open.
Countless pairs of stunned eyes suddenly swept towards him, some of their faces were uncertain, their eyes were surprised, some of their faces were gloomy and their eyes were not good, and what was even more frightened was the pair of violent eyes, as if they were going to swallow him alive, these eyes were from the brass at the front.
At this moment, Brass's face was gloomy, his eyes were cold, and his fists were clenched on his back. If it weren't for the presence of everyone, it would not be easy for him to show it obviously, otherwise he would have blasted Shaoyang into meat without hesitation.
Shaoyang lowered his head and cautiously stood in the last row of the crowd.
Brass always stared at Shaoyang, like an anxious snake staring at its prey, and after a long time, he softened his expression and shouted:
"Now, let's start testing!"
After that, I saw his right hand spread out, and a transparent crystal ball the size of a football suddenly appeared out of thin air. Then he shook his left hand, and an inch-sized piece of yellow paper was grabbed in his hand.
The boy standing nearby could clearly see that the yellow paper was painted with red cinnabar with strange symbols.
Brass let out a low shout of "go", threw the yellow paper in his hand into the air, and at the same time kept making strange handprints on his left hand, pointing at the yellow paper from time to time.
I saw that the yellow paper suddenly emitted a dazzling red glow, and as he kept changing his gestures, the red glow became more and more vigorous.
At the same time, the yellow paper dissipates rapidly at a rate that is visible to the naked eye, and when the yellow paper completely dissipates, the red glow reaches its peak.
Brass pointed with his left hand, struggling to control the red light in the air, and slowly implanted it into the crystal ball. Until the red mangs are completely submerged in the crystal ball, the crystal ball seems to be filled with blood, and it turns red.
After doing all this, he took a deep breath, and he could know that the process was very difficult for him, and then he glanced at everyone, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of a sinister smile.
Everyone was fascinated by the miraculous performance of brass, and they were amazed, and some exhaled directly. They even felt that the brass in front of them was even more powerful than the immortal who brought them up the mountain.
Shaoyang, who was standing at the end, was also attracted by the performance of this brass and admired it sincerely, but when he caught the ghostly smile of the brass, he frowned and thought thoughtfully.
Brass was very satisfied, turned around and was about to take the next step, but suddenly his expression moved, and when he looked back, he was facing a pair of calm eyes, which was Shaoyang.
He was stunned, his face became ugly, and he stared at Shaoyang coldly, but he was also surprised in his heart, he didn't expect this kid to be so calm and not make any waves.
After a long time, Shaoyang moved his eyes and no longer looked at the brass, he already understood the performance of the brass just now.
Brass was displeased, snorted coldly, and his good mood suddenly disappeared, so he beckoned a table and chair, he put the red crystal ball on the table, and then puffed back on the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and began to test.
There are four rows of ten people in each row, a total of forty people to be tested, starting from the front row, in order, the teenagers put their hands on the red crystal ball.
Strange to say, the red crystal ball did not react at all, and several of them were like this, and without exception, these people were all defined as unqualified by brass.
These young people's faces were full of loss, they lowered their heads, and honestly stood aside, in this life, they had no relationship with immortals.
The rest of the test, too, was heard, with only the brass repeating sound.
"Unqualified!"
"Next!"
"Unqualified!"
"Next!"
......
The red crystal ball stood silently on the table at all times, and nothing changed.
Brass breathed heavily, frowned, and looked coldly at the people waiting to be tested.
More than a third of this has passed, and the crystal ball has not reacted at all, if it goes on like this, won't all of them be unqualified?
If this is the case, how can they give an account to the top, and more importantly, doesn't this show that the man in white and the man surnamed Li have poor vision and can't understand people.
These people's cultivation is all on this brass, and it is not something he can provoke at all.
Brass urged everyone to hurry up and test, hoping that a qualified person would appear. Everyone ran and tested, and if they were a little sluggish, they were served by him.
Keep testing!
By the time we reached the middle of the third row, the red crystal ball finally responded. I saw a trace of milky white liquid under the red crystal ball, although it was very small, but it was visible to the naked eye, and it was particularly conspicuous against the red background.
And it was a teenager who made the red crystal ball react, the young man had a handsome face, good facial features, and was dressed in silk, and he looked like a rich child.
Brass was stunned, he didn't have hope, he had already said that when he made a difference, he was overjoyed to see the crystal ball suddenly react, and he looked at the young man a few more times, and nodded from time to time.
The young man was inexplicably frightened of the brass, and asked in a low voice:
"Immortal, am I qualified?"
Brass was stunned for a moment, then laughed, reached out and touched the young man's head, turned to the crowd and said loudly:
"Qualified!"
It seems to have a different meaning.
The boy was surprised, stood for a long time, and muttered to himself:
"I'm an immortal, I'm an immortal. ”
It took a long time to come to his senses, and he knew that he was rude, so he bowed down and said in a loud voice:
"Thank you to the immortals, thank you to the immortals!"
The look of surprise on his face could not be hidden.
Brass picked up the boy, nodded, and said:
"In the future, you and I will be senior brothers, you can call me senior brother. ”
The boy was at a loss, and the surprise came so quickly and suddenly that he didn't know what to do, just stupidly said yes again and again, and then stood on the other side with a grin.
Everyone to be tested was surprised, this sudden accident broke the previous silence, and looking at the qualified teenager, they suddenly envied in their hearts.
As long as they are qualified, they can be called brothers and sisters with immortals, which makes them look forward to it as much, and they are eager to try it one by one, and some even put their hands together and close their eyes in prayer.
And those teenagers who have been eliminated, in addition to envy, have more loss and sadness in their eyes, and some are even crying secretly. They lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly, faintly feeling inferior.
Shaoyang looked at all this coldly, with mixed feelings in his heart, very unpleasant, for a long time, he shook his head and sighed.
The test continues!
I don't know if it was because of the boy's qualification, which had a ripple effect. In the next test, several more passed the test, and one of the girls was even more amazing.
This girl is about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a goose egg face, a pair of beautiful eyes, black hair fluttering in the wind, revealing a youthful atmosphere, and she looks like a beautiful embryo.
And what amazed the audience was not the beauty of this girl, but the red crystal ball, one third of which was filled with milky white liquid.
It wasn't just the brass that was shocked, but everyone present, the previously qualified people had no more than a trace of white emulsion in the crystal ball, and that trace was no more than one in eighth.
Brass was stunned, and then he pulled the girl over without thinking about it, asking long and short questions, looking caring and hypocritical.
Everyone present was stunned for a while, this brass changed face too quickly, everyone had seen it a year ago, but it was facing the immortal at that time, but now it was just a girl of about the same age, just because it produced more milky white liquid when it touched the crystal ball.
In fact, this milky liquid represents talent, and the more milky liquid there is, the higher the talent, and the higher the talent, which represents future achievements.
Like a girl and others, once Brass reports, he will definitely become an inner disciple, you must know that Brass is only an outer disciple.
At the time of the test, there was only a little more milky liquid in his crystal ball.
More importantly, it is not a problem for a person with such a talent to be accepted as a personal disciple by an elder with great supernatural powers in the sect.
So Brass was polite, and it was too late to stammer, how could he dare to put on the same face as before.
And when this good news was reported, maybe those elders would reward him with a magic weapon casually, and he would turn over.
Shaoyang was also stunned, his eyes rolled sharply, he already understood what the milky white liquid in the crystal ball meant, but compared to the previous people, he was really not at the same level.
Frightened by this sudden courtesy, the girl was at a loss, her face was embarrassed, her smiling face turned red as soon as she brushed it, and asked weakly in a low voice:
"Senior brother, am I qualified?"
Brass was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand, and said eagerly:
"No, no, no"
As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it.
When the girl heard the word, her head was dizzy, and she said:
"Unqualified?"
After speaking, tears swirled in his eyes, and they were about to surging down at any time.
When Brass heard that the girl had misunderstood what he meant, he hurriedly waved his hand and exclaimed:
"Qualified, qualified, greatly qualified!"
Before the girl could speak, he added:
"What I mean is that if you don't dislike it, can you call me a junior brother? ”
Wow
The people present were in an uproar, dumbfounded, this 180-degree turn was really unacceptable, even if they were only eleven, twelve or thirteen years old, but they still understood the meaning of this brother.
Shaoyang saw everything in his eyes, and his expression changed.
The girl was also speechless, this accident came too suddenly, she just needs to be qualified, then I thought there would be this.
Brass sat the girl down in a chair and danced wildly, completely oblivious to how many teenagers he had not finished.
After a long time, under the reminder of the girl, Brass slapped his forehead, pretending to remember.
The crowd sweated profusely
